In Jeremiah Chapter 9 we see the mention of trees being used as idols. In these verses the Bible tells us that the tree can't do evil and it can't do good. It's kind of like money. The people were using it as an idol but in all reality it has no power.
That is the same with any idol. Whether it's a Buddha statue or a Mother Mary statue. There is no power in the idol.
Money can be an idol just like a tree can be an idol. It just depends on how you use it.
If someone is using a Buddha statue for a decoration lets make sure we are not too judgmental. It would be the same as we using Christmas trees for decoration. What makes the difference is what we do with that figure that was used as an idol in our past history.
